Call A Spade A Spade


A spade should always be called a spade. No other expression is adequate enough to replace it. Some people are in the habit of using long and round about expressions when speaking. This only helps to make audience confused. If one is to express his ideas clearly, he should make his speech plain and simple. Such kind of speech attracts listeners. They willingly pay attention to what the speaker has to say. By such a way of speaking, the speaker also can express his ideas easily without much effort. The best speaker is he who puts his ideas into plain and expressive speech. We must also be straight forward in our speeches. We should be bold enough to call a spade a spade when we see one. Instead of that, if we try to call it something else our speech loses its honesty. Such speech is harmful in our dealings with others. It only helps others to think that we are cowards and dishonest. Good people always appreciate plain and straight forward speech. One who speaks in such a way is always respected by others. Therefore, it is always better to make our way of speaking plain and honest in order to make others listen and understand what we have to say.

A Burnt Child Dreads the Fire


Burns from fire is common. Usually mature persons are very careful in handling fire. But Children usually do not realise that fire can produce a burning sensation and recklessly play with it. They find it very attractive until it injures them. Once they get burnt, they may realise that it is dangerous to play. In our daily life we may face difficulties. We may learn from our mistakes. Once we know what is expected from mistakes, we will try to avoid repetition. In other words we are like children, we learn from our mistakes. We may take extra caution in future. A wise man never repeats the same mistakes twice. However as saying goes, it is always best to avoid faults and mistakes than to commit them again and learn in due course.

A Dog is a Man's Best Friend

A dog stands by its master in prosperity and poverty, in health and sickness, in happiness and sorrow. He will sleep on the cold surface, where the wintry winds blow, and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. A dog always remains with his master even if everybody deserts him. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, a dog is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the sky. It is prudent to term Dog as Man’s best friend
